Side to side at the widest point.
Round the edge is circumference.

How about d=2r where r is the radius of the circle. Everybody had the right idea, It is a line going from one "side" of the circle to the other "side" crossing the center point. But that automatically makes it twice the radius!
Circumference is 2(pi)r, the length you would travel if you started on one point of the circle, went all the way around the circle, and stopped at the point where you started.

Diameter is the distance across the circle at the widest point. Circumference is the distance around the circle and radius is the distance from the side to the middle of the circle at the widest point.

Diameter is any line segment that passes through the center of the circle and the end points are on the circular boundary.
Radius is any line segment from the center of the circle to any point of the circular boundary.
Circumference is the distance around the circle.

Offering high rewards for correct answer is not going to help you solve a problem that's intrinsically wrong.
A circle, get your geometry right, does NOT have a side or an edge.
